The Obamas, by Jodi Kantor

5.0

This book received a lot of criticism when it was released for painting Michell's, especially, in a poor light. I didn't find that to be true. Rather it painted the picture of a young couple thrust into a very public postion of power very quickly and focused on the inherent impacts that had on their relationship and family. If anything it made me like both his policy and them as a couple even more. I especially appreciated the tidbits that humanized them; such as he eats dinner with his family every night and focuses on the going one of the girls. All in all, I really enjoyed it.
